Faith am told can move mountains. But did you know it can move oceans.....
Haji Ali mosque in Mumbai is built in the middle of ocean! Just imagine.. A mosque in midst of Arabian sea...
The path connecting Haji Ali to the land is accessible only when the tides of ocean are low. All of this seemed so mystical to me that I definitely had to make a pit stop here during our Mumbai Visit.....
I sadly do not have any pic that will do justice to this place...
And thus comes to and end my posts of the Mharashtra Road Trip.....

The word ' Haji Ali' conjures up before me, the green symbol of the food chain of Mumbai.... but here is the real Haji Ali.... Thanks for sharing this with us , Meena :) Lovely piece of information, this one !
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to visit Haji Ali. Maybe during my next visit to Mumbai :)
ReplyDeleteLovely snap and good write up. Took me down memory lane!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very special place indeed! And the view of the city from the ramp at night is also something to enjoy! Did you try the juice at that famous juice bar outside Haji Ali? :)

ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I agree - Faith keeps me strong and faith keeps me going :)

ReplyDeleteThe walkway is underwater at high tide? Wow, how weird, especially since it has lights that must have wires and stuff in them. Truly interesting - thanks for the post. :)
ReplyDeleteThe beauty of it is its appeal to people of all faiths, Meena!
